SHIFT key

Many keys have two functions: the first is written in normal (white) type, and the second is written under this in white on a green background.

To access these second shifted functions:

1 Press the SHIFT key so that the indicator lights.

2Press the key whose second function you want to use. The SHIFT indicator goes out.

NOTE

As the 2488MKII is shipped from the factory, if you press the SHIFT key and do not press another key within a second or so, the SHIFT indicator goes out. This prevents you from accessing unwanted functions by accident. If you hold down the SHIFT key while you are looking for the next key, it will stay on.

You can change this behavior so that the SHIFT key becomes a non-latching key—that is, you have to press and hold it while you are pressing the other key, or a latching key that stays on until the other key is pressed. See “Shift key behavior” on page 92 for details of how to make this change.

Several shifted functions are not indicated on the panel.
